Obama receives Nobel Peace Prize

[Jubbie]

This Nobel stuff seems to be moving into the realm of awarding based on Fiction. First Gore now Obama. You don't actually have to accomplish anything.

OK this is what it says on the nobelprize.org site:

February – Deadline for submission. The Committee bases its assessment on nominations that must be postmarked no later than 1 February each year. Nominations postmarked and received after this date are included in the following year's discussions. In recent years, the Committee has received close to 200 different nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize. The number of nominating letters is much higher, as many are for the same candidates.

So they're saying he accomplished whatever in the first two weeks of presidency. Bull

What a flippin joke WTF...

I wouldn't read that much into this. I caught a little of that Morning Joe show with Joe Scarborough and he pointed out that the likes of Jimmy Carter and Al Gore won the Nobel Prize as well.

It appears to be more of a glamorous award these days. They said there was one nominee who had built 120 small schools in remote villages in Pakistan in an effort to get young girls educated and escape the abuse. There is actual proof of the good they did, not just rehtoric like Obama.

Al Gore, Jimmy Carter & Hussein OBama, the Democrat version of the 3 Socialist Stooges

Like Al Gore wasn't bad enough. The nominations was 10 days after he was in office. This puts the exclamation point on the NPP being a big political popularity joke. Too bad all the other deserving people aren't considered anymore.

Is there another planet to move to. This one needs to start over.

Don't go to the moon or mars. We're bombing them too.

Next they'll extend his presidency. Then he'll become the head of the U.N. Then we'll have a rapture and it'll all be OK =)

Douche bag of the year..

And I quote:

" Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future," the committee said. "His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world's population."

Strange, he doesn't appear to think much about the values and attitudes of the majority in his "chosen" nation.

By the way .......... Where's the Birth Certificate?

1. The Nobel committee is far left
2. the only nominee more shocking to receive it would have been Michael Moorebidlyobese
3. He received the award for BEING "Hope and change"
4. The Nobel committee must be in G Soros' pocket.
5. Apologizing for your country, and further ruining it's economy looks to be the way to get the prize

 

[waloidian]

not surprised, they have awarded this "prize" to questionable figures for decades now. It's not a "noble" prize, and some winners prove this year after year.

 

[Joe Williams]

Now that's definitely faked. Aren't the deadlines for nominations the end of January?
Correct me if that's wrong. But if the timeline doesn't match up...well...you know.

If it's faked, somebody has hacked Yahoo's news page.

They don't care what Obama has actually done, they don't care that he's regarded with scorn by nearly all the leaders of other nations. They care that he represents the radical leftist ideology they embrace, and they feel an obligation to help him, the better to further their own cause.

I agree. I woke up this morning and checked the internet to make sure the internet was okay. It is. Rest easy. But, while looking after my internet, I saw this story and immediately said to my cats, "Wtf?" But, I actually spoke the words and not the abbreviation, so you can imagine the seriousness of the situation if I actually say, What the Frizzle?

I am not going to come down on Obama for this. This is purely a case of Europe being European. I think Mrs. Obama probably woke up and said, "You haven't done anything yet."

Naturally, Conservatives will not like this. And, I can't blame them. It's just so crazy and early, it's hilarious. If this had happened after his eight years were up, I would be okay with it, deserving or not. But, he hasn't done anything yet. I am sure that Conservatives are going to withhold their comments until after Obama's acceptance speech when he gets the award. Then, they will jump all over him and play politics.

Anyways, I won't come down on Obama for this. I just hope he says, "Yeah, well, I would have rather gotten the Olympics."

But, don't worry. I did save a bunch of money by switching to GEICO.
